The firm will deliver design and development services for Wintastar Shanghai, a planned indoor ski slope that will be built by Singaporean real estate firm, KOP Properties.

Located in Lingang City, China, the 107,000m² indoor snow park will have three ski slopes, including one for Olympic training, multiple ski runs, and more than 25 Alpine-themed attractions for non-skiers.

Majid Al Futtaim said it would draw from its experience as the operator of Ski Dubai, the world's largest indoor ski park, to deliver the Chinese project, which marks the firm's debut in Asia.

Wintastar Shanghai will also build upon Majid Al Futtaim's burgeoning international footprint, which has so far seen it open a ski resort in Egypt, develop a snow park in Oman, and work on plans to operate another indoor ski resort in Abu Dhabi’s $1.2bn (AED4.4bn) Reem Mall.

A ground-breaking ceremony for Wintastar Shanghai was held on 3 September, 2018, and the project could be completed by 2022.
